Interesting in this context is completely divorced from morally good/bad. Could be any group from any area at any time in history. I’ll start with a few, followers of the cult of pythagoras, contemporary black Hebrew Israelites, antiracist skinheads and the Amish (neo-luddites in general). Don’t be racist or a prick to other people discussing.
Wow thanks for that follow up info. I had no idea. I also looked it up some and read a few things in it. Hard to know what is accurate or true, but yeah. It makes a lot of sense that it is the untreated infection leading to neurological damage and it’s that neuro damage that is mistaken for an ongoing infection. I can see how people would believe that.
Sad that it’s being taken advantage of too, ugh.
I remember being TERRIFIED of getting Lyme as a kid because there was this kinda perception/belief in permanent illness or severe damage and all that. Not that Lyme isn’t dangerous or deadly, but good to know it’s not some spooky forever mystery disease.
remember the scientist who discovered lyme, was stalked, harrassed and had death threats against him, he had to get private security. he was also saying theres no such thing as CHRONIC lyme. its basically a cult with an industry behind it. like someone said it likely it some other disorder, like CF or a mental component. if you dont live in lyme “country”, or unless you were near there but dint see a tick or anything, ubt a telltales bullseye rash.
